You're right, it was Andy Dodd. I made the newbie mistake of trusting ESPN. When will I learn, that's like trusting Rush Limbaugh to tell you about reproductive rights. My apologies.
FTR I was in no way saying Bama isn't going to get quality guys, it just stings to have guys flip to your greatest rivals.

Edit-this was supposed to be to michiganman, I'm not sure why it ended up here.
Edit again-I my apologies for the Rush comment too, didn't even consider that it could be deemed political when it was intended as a joke. It's early, my brain is slow I'll STHU

I remember with Tressel as coach, when he offered it was a big deal for the high school kids because he offered very few recruits and expected those he offered to commit.  He turned an Ohio offer into something special (unless of course you are a Michigan fan).  Seems Urban is doing the exact opposite of that, this can only be viewed as a good thing.

I don't see (or read) that other top members of the class are getting offers at this rate.  Why are they (not) and Dawson (is)?

Other members of this class have definitely gotten offers after they commited to Michigan.  The most memorable of course was Dymonte Thomas getting offered by Meyer.  A lot of us were worried about that one too.

For Dawson, I think it's much more a matter of his "late bloomer" status than any sensed weakness in his commitment.  Guys like Bosch and LTT already had a ton of offers when they commited to Michigan, and so there weren't a lot of schools left to offer.  Dawson didn't have a lot of top offer when he went Blue.  Add to that that fact that ohio is hurting for 2013 OL, and wanting to make inroads into Cass Tech, and boom, offer.
